Hii! Wish you all a happy Sunday! I have a little question. I saw many folks here having super cute and organised shelves (even with dividers!!), and I wanted to try this too. Do you know if there's a way to move shelves around, so I can put them in the order I prefer the most? 🧐 I'm lazy and I don't want to remake them all from zero lol

I've been using PB for almost two months now, and the number of books on my shelves have gotten to the point where my feed has become overwhelming. I'm thinking I'm going to need to mute some books in order to limit the number of new posts I see every day, but it feels weird to just decide to stop seeing posts for books I've read or want to read (even if I really hated the book). So I thought I'd ask the community. Do you mute books from your feed, and if so, how do you decide which to mute?

I normally don’t like to adhere to the strictures of a plan, but for Pagebound, I’ll give it a shot! How successful has this feature been for you all?

Halfway through! Time for a midyear check-in! Some fun categories for everyone to share their reading year so far.

good evening PB’s!🥹

this is more a question for UK besties as that’s the library system I’m using but if anyone has any tips and tricks that transcend country or just wanna yap about how you support and utilise your local library then please do!

i’m newly trying to make a real effort to use my local library and that’s simply because for months and months I thought they had no books but I was actually only searching Libby, not realising that there was a separate app for requesting physicals…

✨BUT NOW I KNOW✨

does anyone know what TRANSIT means? does this mean it’s on its merry way to me or between libraries?

if I’m 1 in the hold queue, does that mean it’s zooming to me next?

i’ve looked and there are no activities etc taking place at my local library so i can’t support by attending those, are there other ways myself/others could support that you’re able to share?

hope this is okay to post as it’s still book adjacent😭

thanks in advance for any tips or advice etc🫶

eta: how the helly do i know if books are ready to pick up🥹

After reading a few books, doing a book swap and buying 3 more books today, my physical tbr is at 81 books 😀 Many of these I bought years ago and still haven’t come around to reading but I think i’m going to give HRCYED 3.0 a shot this year and hope we can get that number down! What’s your physical tbr looking like?
